Before the introduction of maize to Europe, “corn” was a generic term for all cereal crops. Hence the Corn Laws, which affected wheat, barley, rye, as well as actual corn.
I remember there being a mention of corn in ACOK in one of Arya’s chapters. Is this actual corn with GRRM being anachronistic, or is it something else? I have the vaguest memory of the mention of corn in medieval britain in a couples sources I once read but its fuzzy.
